Packaging features unique reverse flap exterior card sleeve, printed cardboard inner sleeve, and 16-page booklet.
Barcode printed on sticker affixed to the sleeve. Comes with hype sticker affixed to the shrink wrap stating "Beside Herself collects the dream music of Michele Mercure's self-produced and distributed albums, offered in scarce analog editions between 1983 and 1990. Traversing the DIY cassette trading scene and sensory bending soundtracks for experimental theatre and television, Mercure's night-lit, minimal synthesizer music expresses an ambitious vision and (simulated) voice swelling from the electronic music substratum of the 80s. This CD co-release from RVNG Intl. and Freedom To Spend includes a 16-page booklet with extensive liner notes and ephemeral enrichment."
